On a more serious note, if slightly off-topic, with regards to the actual printed copies of reports, GL etc., one of the interesting things which came out of our recent face-to-face interviews with HERs for the Data Sources Project was how many of them prefer paper to digital.
I'm not saying this is true of all HER's, or any other organisation for that matter, but it was the majority opinion of those we interviewed. It seems to come down to being able to trust something you can hold.
